WELCOME (Please read! - Especially those who have been redirected here)

WELCOME to the new-look Clan Home Genealogical Database.

We are indebted to Jim Roy Hume of Wildwood, Missouri and latterly of Hawaii, who put this valuable resource at our disposal. He served for many years on the Clan Council as our well-respected and well-liked resident genealogist. Jim passed away on 3rd May 2018. To give you an insight into his character, here is the first paragraph of his children's poem from his Memorial Service:
He never looked for praises,He was never one to boast.He just went on quietly working,For the ones he loved the most.

The database is a result of thousands of hours of research and will continue to be a work in progress in this new style. Some features of the site have yet to be populated.

This new version will display Jim’s work in a more updated and dynamic way.

LIVING INDIVIDUALS & PRIVACY
This database does not require any log-in procedure and is fully available to assist you in your own research. A consequence of this is that living individuals (and those who have recently passed away but whose death dates have not reached us yet) will not be shown on this database. Please note that the "Log In" button is for administrative purposes only.

GETTING STARTED
There are over 56,000 individuals and 21,000 families representing over 8,000 surnames in this database. There are over 15,000 individuals with the Hume, Home and Humes surname.

For those of you who have been redirected to this page after clicking on an individual in a Google search or similar, the good news is that the person, who you clicked on in Google, exists in this database! Just follow the instructions below.

Use the FIND drop-down list (on the beige coloured menu bar towards top right) to access the different searches available.

Use the quick link to Emigrant George Hume (at the very top) if you want to focus on his U.S. based dynasty. This will open his ancestral chart with him at the bottom. This is an example of a vertical ancestral chart but you can change this to a standard, compact, text or fan chart. You can then change to his descendants chart. You can also alter the number of generations shown. You can, of course, open his individual or family page.

RELATIONSHIP CALCULATOR
You can calculate the relationship between any two individuals in the database. Some people will be connected to each other by more than one relationship, so you can increase the number of relationships searched.

You can now PRINT out a page.
If you find an interesting page, you can now also BOOKMARK it. These bookmarks are just yours and you can have as many as you need. NB, your saved ones won't show if you change browsers. You'll find your bookmarks at the bottom of the FIND drop-down list

Although you might see a GEDCOM button, this is disabled. This is really to protect Jim's work.

Please CONTACT us (via the INFO drop-down list) if you wish to comment about anything in general or use the SUGGEST tab on each individual's page to suggest a change or update to that particular person.

Wedderburn Branch

Sir David [Home] of Wedderburn got from his father the lands of Thurrston, and from Archibald Earl of Douglas, a grant of the Barony of Wedderburn in the County of Berwick, and a confirmation of it by the King, in 1413, for his military services

Exiled to America as a young man in 1721. Settling in Culpeper, Virginia with his wife Elizabeth (Proctor), he started a dynasty of his own. Emigrant or Immigrant? Depends on from which side of the Pond you are!

Philosopher David Hume 1711-1776

Born to Joseph and Katherine Home of Ninewells. Started at Edinburgh University in the winter of 1722 with his brother John.
Before becoming one of the leading philosophers, he went to Bristol in 1734 to work as a merchant's clerk. It was here that he changed the spelling of his name as he was so fed up with the English mispronouncing it.

First World War Casualties

This opens a PDF (you can zoom in) of my working spreadsheet of all the Hume and Home fallen during the First World War. It is an ongoing project and if you can add to the details of any of these brave men, please use the CONTACT link
